    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  13. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Funny and really odd that you say this because like I said she makes some unsavory comments at times, one in particular directed at an administrator that I will not even repeat here, but she said it...

  14. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    *shrug* I've worked at a few places and while most are informal, some still are. But apparently we're not being formal enough and she wants to give out write ups for this (as if she has any authority...

  15. Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my what a Pandora's box I have opened. Then I wonder what if no one on a unit wants to precept and this I ask speaking from experience. Two years ago every nurse the manager approached refused to...

  19. Does your administrator have a college degree

    All4NursingRN replied to NURSECDON's topic in General Nursing

    No clue but I'm very interested in how she got the job with no degree. Is she extremely experienced in her role? But still it's very odd. Does she know

  20. Manager wants me to alter documentation on expired patient

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    By the way I know some had said earlier in this thread that I should never leave the form blank, that is of course true. I looked the form over when I pulled the chart to ensure I didn't leave...

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing
